The Witcher Series Sells Six Million Copies

The Witcher games have sold six million copies in six years across all platforms, CD Projekt RED has announced.

The dark fantasy RPG series, based on the work of novelist Andrzej Sapkowski, debuted on PC in 2007, while an enhanced sequel appeared on Xbox 360 in 2011. The third game in the trilogy hits PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2014.

"CD Projekt RED was built on the idea that giving gamers more is always worth it. Since the very beginning of our journey we have seen that the approach of inviting gamers into a dialogue with the developer is really important and can shake up the - sometimes self-destructive - business side of games,”  said studio boss Adam Badowski.

“We hope you'll stay with us for the years to come and that we will continue to make these changes together.”

To accompany the announcement CD Projekt RED has also released a stat-filled infographic and a sexy bit of sixth birthday art. They’re both below.

  • The Witcher 2 is one of the best games I've ever played period.
  • Deserve it - good series
  • Cracking series amd a cracking developer. Would gladly pay double for a Witcher title as they deserve every penny.
  • The Witcher 3 has 36 endings! Omg that is crazy.
  • Hope the Witcher 3 doubles that number (not likely but hey, we can dream!) Great dev, great series
  • @5 Who knows, maybe it will. It's coming out on more platforms so more people will be able to enjoy it. Looking forward to the 3rd game in the series. I'm going to pick up the first two on PC so I can play them before the 3rd releases.
  • Witcher 1 for Xbox Please!!
  • This is simply one of the greatest game series in all times can't believe they don't sell more when games like oblivion and skyrim do so good on sales, not saying they don 't deserve that but would without any doubt say that Wither is way better.. IMO
  • Never beat the second game. I was playing it on Xbox 360 and I'm actually stuck at a progress blocking bug. CD never got back at me so I don't know how to fix it other than loading a game save from 10+ hours back. And I don't want to do that... It is definitely a fantastic game, and I'm looking forward to the third game on Xbox One either way.
  • These people deserve it. Very great game, very deep story
  • Good on them! The witcher is defo one of the best games ive played, roll on number 3! The only game im really looking foward to on the xbox one so far to be honest.
  • I have not played the witcher games will play it on the xbox one.
